Austin ONeil
@austinoneil
GIS specialist focused on spatial analysis, remote sensing, and environmental planning.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a motivated GIS professional with a Master of Science in Environmental Geographic Information Science and a strong academic record (GPA 3.93). My training includes GIS analysis, remote sensing, spatial data management, and environmental planning applied to coastal and climate-related challenges.
In practical roles I have applied GIS to real-world problems: storm surge and flooding mapping, DEM analysis for drainage and land suitability, coastal climate impact studies, and bathymetric analysis for ocean-floor mapping. I pair technical proficiency in ArcGIS/ArcMap/ArcPro with field experience using GPS, surveying equipment, and boat operations.
My professional experience spans surveying, marine construction project oversight, and account management where I strengthened client communication, project coordination, and data-driven reporting. I have performed ALTA/topographic/hydrographic surveys and used rendered maps to evaluate site conditions for marine infrastructure.
I bring strong analytical and visualization skills, a collaborative work style, and practical field capabilities (including boat operation and rescue certifications). I am eager to contribute GIS expertise to environmental impact studies, coastal resilience planning, and spatial decision-making teams.
